Re: [Discuss] Next MXNet release

2018-10-26 Thread Steffen Rochel
During the Hangout on Wednesday multiple release proposals have been
discussed. I summarized discussion here
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MXNET/Hangout+October+24th+2018+8am+and+5pm+PDT>
and
updated the release proposal page
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MXNET/Project+Proposals+for+next+MXNet+Release>
.
Please review, provide feedback and propose changes.
I plan to start a lazy vote on Sunday regarding the release proposal.

Calling for volunteers to manage the 1.3.1 and 1.4.0 release.

Regards,
Steffen

RE: [Discuss] Next MXNet release

2018-10-01 Thread Zhao, Patric
Thanks to let us know this discussion. 
Because we don't have enough bandwidth to track the different sources, like 
discussion forum.

I think the best way is to open issue in the github so that we can answer/solve 
the issue in time :)

Thanks,

RE: [Discuss] Next MXNet release

2018-10-01 Thread Zhao, Patric
Thanks, Steffen. 

I will send the reminder again and currently Da, Jun, Haibin and Marco is 
reviewing our 1st PR (12530).

Regarding MKL-DNN integration, the MKL-DNN backend reached GA now from my view.
In the last development cycle, lots of tests, both unit tests and real models, 
are added to improve the quality.
And we don't see any big defects in the current solution. 

Really thanks the efforts form Alex and Shufan adding a branch of test case.
1) unit test
Such as PR, concat 11371, pool 11608, LRN 11831, Sum 11272, backward 11232, 
gluon 10921. 
The new CPP test located in 
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/blob/master/tests/cpp/operator/mkldnn.cc
 and 
the gluon test in 
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/blob/master/tests/python/unittest/test_gluon.py.

2) model level
The model level coverage, including CV and non-CV models, are tracked in our 
local servers weekly with official master branch.
The CV tests includes RESNET50, inception bn, SSD, etc; non-CV tests includes 
sockeye/GNMT, lstm_bucketing models, etc.
All models we tracked can converged with the expected accuracy and performance. 
 

BTW, is there a check list for grading? If so, it's easy to evaluate 
objectively :)

Thanks,

--Patric

Re: [Discuss] Next MXNet release

2018-10-01 Thread Haibin Lin
I found 2 bugs related to gluon Trainer with distributed KVStore. Basically
if someone uses Gluon for distributed training with a learning rate
schedule (e.g. train ResNet50 for image classification), it won't work.

https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/12713

I have the fix for the first bug locally, but I don't have the fix for the
second one.

Best,
Haibin

Re: [Discuss] Next MXNet release

2018-10-01 Thread Afrooze, Sina
This post suggests there is a regression from 1.1.0 to 1.2.1 related to MKLDNN 
integration: https://discuss.mxnet.io/t/mxnet-1-2-1-module-get-outputs/1882

The error is related to MKLDNN layout not being converted back to MXNet layout

Thanks Patrick.
Updated roadmap and next release content.

Patrick - suggest to send a reminder to review the design doc and collect
feedback.
Are there still known issues or gaps before we declare MKL-DNN integration
as GA?

Re: [Discuss] Next MXNet release

2018-09-28 Thread kellen sunderland
Thanks for transparently setting a rough timeline Steffen.  I think this
will go a long way in helping the community plan their work, even if the
details change somewhat on the road to the release.

Regarding the major release: I would propose we unify TensorRT with the
subgraph operator work.

Regarding the patch release:  There were a few minor stack/buffer overflows
exposed by ASAN that have been addressed.  It's probably a good idea to
include them in a patch release, as they at best result in
non-deterministic behaviour.

[Discuss] Next MXNet release

2018-09-28 Thread Steffen Rochel
I updated
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MXNET/Project+Proposals+for+next+MXNet+Release,
removed the completed items from 1.3 release and would like to kick off
discussion about the next release. Please suggest what you would like to
see included in the next release together with link to design proposal
(appropriately for the size and complexity of the proposal) or suggest
changes.
I suggest to target the next release for December 2018 to frame the
discussion.
Lets include review of
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MXNET/MXNet+Roadmap - time to
update and discuss changes.

>From the 1.3 release we had discussion regarding
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/11849 and resolution in
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/12412 .
Are you aware of critical issues and feedback from user which we should
consider for a potential 1.3.1 patch release. Should we include PR 12412 in
a potential patch release?

Regards,
Steffen
